A Pebble
Smooth, small and round,
In the riverbed you're found.
Glistening in the sun's warm light,
A little treasure shining bright.
You lay there motionless and still,
A tiny rock that's hard to kill.
Yet you're more than what we see,
For you symbolize eternity.
A memory of ages past,
A testament to time that lasts.
A simple thing, yet so profound,
You're the essence of nature's ground.
You're shaped by force, by wind and wave,
A product of what nature gave.
A part of life's eternal dance,
A symbol of the earth's expanse.
So here you lie, a humble stone,
A reminder of a world unknown.
A pebble small, but ever true,
A part of what the earth renews.
